I've been contacted by someone who says he believes he's the illegitimate son of my dh's mother. My dh had absolutely no inkling that his dm had another child and she's dead (and so are all her contemporaries) so can't ask her. The so-called illegitimate son was born just after the war and has a birth certificate gives the same name and occupation as that of my dh's mother but there's no other proof.
We are in a state of shock and I don't think my dh really wants to know any more about it. If the guy is his half brother it's sad that he is being rejected by my dh but completely understandable, i think. I feel so sorry for them both but my dh said that he wouldn't beleive it unless there was DNA evidence, but that he doesn't want to enter into that. I know there's nothing any mmsnetters can do but I'm just offloading as I feel burdened with it all.
